Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect on the character and appearance of the host building, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Westbourne Conservation Area
- whether the living conditions of future occupiers of the proposed development would be acceptable, with particular regard to outlook, noise, and the provision of outdoor space
- the effect of the proposal on the storage and collection of waste
What decided it
The loss of existing timber sash windows to UPVC replacements would cause less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area that was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of the proposal.
the less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area from the loss of timber windows was not outweighed by the moderate public benefits of additional residential accommodation, improved energy efficiency, and sympathetic window replacements to other elevations
